customise the confluence add user email message

Question

hi, has anyone any oidea how to customise the message sent to a new user after I add them via "add user"?

[I thought the text came from the same place as "invite user" and that changing that would have the desired effect - no joy so far]

As always any pointers much appreciated

thank you - great answer and very quick

I had followed this pointer early in thsi quest but hadnt any idea how to find the correct file to edit and put the file/search toone side. Now after the great pointer and after searching high and low through many other jars I now can unpack with the best of them and grep for the right content and hence identify the file:

com/atlassian/confluence/core/ConfluenceActionSupport.properties

Now a quick edit and repack

shame this isnt customisable more easily

thanks again

cheers

You have to be administrator with access to the server where Confluence is running. You will find the instructions here:
